People worry about copyright issues.

As far as Dermot Cavanagh is concerned, Dermot created his tutorials in order that you can learn from painting them. If you achieve pictures that you are happy with, then sign them as your own, frame them and exhibit them. Dermot will be delighted about this.

If you intend to sell them it is polite to give an acknowledgement to the original artist. Dermot personally suggest an acknowledgement noted on the back of the framed work; either “after Dermot Cavanagh” or ‘inspired by Dermot Cavanagh’ Good luck and I hope you sell lots. Happy Painting!

Yes all tutorials are sold individually.

You don’t need to have exactly the same set of paints and brushes as I have.

After many years of experience and practice, I have concluded that the materials I now use and have listed as my recommended colours and materials are the best. But as, everyone may not have these materials so I have also suggested a few Similar Equivalents that you may already have. My advice would be use similar equivalents until done and then replace with my recommended materials.

For best results: My advice would be use similar equivalents until they are done and then replace with my recommended materials.

In my experience the best place to buy these materials on-line is from: www.saa.co.uk or www.jacksons.com no one can touch either of them for price and normally delivery is very fast.
